How do you change sequence settings in Premiere Pro CS6, and earlier?

Is it possible to change a sequences settings once you've set up the sequence?
In Sequence Settings everything is grayed out so I can't change it.

What type of camera did you record your AVCHD footage on? The reason I ask is because I'm thinking the most likely reason it thought your video was interlaced is because several AVCHD camera's shoot footage that they call "1080p" but it's not actually normal progressive footage. It's actually PsF footage. (Progressive segmented frame)  Which with this footage it just records both fields, so what ends up happening is that Premiere ends up reading the footage like it's interlaced which it basically is, except unlike normal interlaced footage this PsF has both fields. Anyways though you can find out if this is the case by using the modify>interpet option from inside your bin, then if it says that you files field order is anything besides progressive then you'll know you will need to conform the footage to progressive as explained in this article in order to make Premiere work with it properly. Although this issue might not be the same thing you're experincing I just figured I'd mention that since it's fairly common place for AVCHD cameras to record PsF.
You may want to check out this article although it may not apply to you depending on what type of camera you're using. Although they cover basically all the major AVCHD camera makers

They talk about several Cannon, Panasonic and Sony avchd cameras that all currently record footage this way.

  • How do you change sequence settings in Premiere CC

    I bought me a new external disk and I copied the project over to my new disk.
    But how do I change the sequence settings to my new disk?

    I see it now that it can be misunderstood a bit. What I mean is that I wan´t to change the render workflow that you choose when you start a new project.

  • How do you change project settings on Premiere Elements 12?

    I have Premiere Elements 12. When I view a DVD I created of wedding photos, the edges of people and objects are jagged and generally the photos appear blurry. On my old Premiere Elements 8, I did not have this problem - the pictures on DVDs were clear and sharp. When checking the project setting on Premiere 8, the project settings for Capture was DV which changed all my settings for General and Rendering project settings. On my new Premiere 12, the Capture setting is HDV and I cannot get the General and Rendering settings to change when I change the Capture setting to DV. The online help from Adobe says to correct this, "In the New Project dialog box, click Change Settings," but when I start a new project in Premiere 12, "Adobe Premiere Element Editor" is the only dialogue box that shows and I cannot see a change setting button. Does anyone know how I can change my project settings so that when I select DV it will change all the presets for the General and Video Rendering settings?

    The party line is that you cannot change project settings once the project settings have been set. You need to start a new project.
    Edit Menu/Project Settings/General does not offer the opportunity for any significant project settings change in this type of situation.
    I have discovered that, under certain circumstances, that the user can change the established project preset without starting a new project.
    The approach to doing this involves editing the Notepad document of the saved closed project file (project.prel file). I have written about this in the following blog post.
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/05/pe11-changing-project-settings-without.html
    You need to weigh the pros and cons of going through the procedure or just starting a new project and start the project again.
    All of the above being said, on to setting to the correct project preset to match the properties of your source media. Please refer to the issues involved and how to set manually the project preset when the program is not doing the job correctly or best automatically.

    To the specifics...if you are doing DV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, the scenario would be...
    a. Open Premiere Elements 12 to the Expert workspace, go to File Menu/New/Project and Change Settings. In Change Settings,
    change the project preset to NTSC DV Standard or NTSC DV Widescreen depending on NTSC or PAL set up and 4:3 or 16:9 DV data source. Then before you exit that area, make sure to place a check mark next to "Force Selected Project Setting on This Project" in
    the new project dialog. Exit that area and return to the Premiere Elements 12 Expert workspace for your Add Media/DV Capture selection.
    If you are doing HDV data capture firewire into Premiere Elements 12 Capture Window, then same scenario except the project preset change involves NTSC HDV HDV 1080i30 (if NTSC). In this instance, the Edit Menu/Project Settings/General should look like
    Please review and consider and then let me know if I have targeted you question or need clarification.
    Thank you.

    You could adjust the mailnews.tcptimeout preference, as explained in the 2nd point in [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Can_not_send_large_attachments this article]. Also, make sure there's no security program scanning outgoing mail attachments.

  • Right sequence and export settings in Premiere Pro CS6, video with still images

    I am trying to run a video on my website (self hosted). This video, made with Premiere Pro CS6, consists of still images with different video effects.
    This video is only 50 seconds, but when I transform this in the ogg, webm and mp4 format, I obtain file with large size and the quality is not good.
    Could you please guide me to find out the right sequence and export settings in Premiere Pro CS6 to obtain a video for the best possible quality on the web?
    A precise description of the settings would be awesome. 
    Thank you
    Silvia

    Make the export setting the resolution you want to use on the web.
    Make the sequence settings accordantly to these export settings

  • How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

    How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?  I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail.  Changing the screen density is not a good option.
    Thanks

    I downloaded Tinkertool.  Found the font section and increased the size of most selections.  The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label.  The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4.  Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either.  I'll keep working.  Restarted all apps after changes as well.

    how do you change orientation of pdf file to fill and sign?

    Adobe Fill & Sign does not yet have a feature to rotate PDF pages but there are several websites that will rotate a PDF for free and then you can bring that PDF with correct orientation into Fill & Sign to fill out.  Any of the top hits when you google "rotate PDF free" will work.

  • How do you change the click box properties (line colour and width) in Captivate 7.0?

    How do you change the click box properties (line colour and width) in Captivate 7.0?

    Yes certainly, we can do that, insert a smart shape and use it as a button, then go to the properties pane, change the Alpha to 0, that will make it transparent, and add the stroke color as red and increase the width.
    In case of a button, you have to select button type as transparent and do the same.
    Thanks.

  • FAQ: How do I trim in the Timeline using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC?

    You can now trim with a lot more keyboard shortcuts in the Timeline in Premiere Pro CS6 and CC. See this article for details: Timeline trimming using keyboard shortcuts in Premiere Pro CS6.

    I'm relieved (if a little frustrated!) that others have the same issues, it makes me feel at least it's not just me! :-)
    I am running Windows 7 64 bit Intel quad core processor 8Gb RAM if that helps Jim?
    Another quick test shows I have exactly the same issues as shooternz and Ann Bens above at 7 & 8 respectively. An audio only or audio/video clip from Bin to SM and I can add markers on the fly perfectly. Audio/video from the timeline to SM works just the same. Audio only from the timeline will not work however.
    I tried linking a video clip to my audio clip to see if that would allow me to add markers then unlink and remove the video... but when I opened that in SM the add marker button was greyed out and the keyboard shortcut (M) didn't work either!

  • Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 Color shift on export

    Hello,
    I am working on an early 2008 Mac Pro with 2 X 3.2 GHz Quad Core Intel Xeon Processors 32 GB of RAM a NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512 MB Graphics Card and I am running OS X 10.8.2.
    I have the updated Version of Adobe Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6 through the awesome Subscription program that Adobe has started.
    My footage is shot with the Canon 1D Mark IV shot 1920X1080 at 24 FPS
    I am importing the camera files and then exporting them after I cut them up in to Quicktime Pro Res 422 HQ files
    With the technical explination out of the way here is my problem. I have color right from the camera files that I like. and with out doing any thing to change the color I export the footage and get a dramatic color shift. The exported file looks desaturated and slightly green.
    I have tried using Media Encoder CS6 to export my footage and that has the same result.
    I started my career as a photographic retoucher and use photoshop and light room constantly so I am pretty confident that i know color. I also calibrate my Lacie 526 and Lacie 324i montiors monthly as well as have a sensor that will slightly shift the profile depending on the time of day.
    I have attached three screen shots that show the color shift exactly. Now what I need is a solution. What I am not seeing is color settings for Premiere. I am totally open to any suggestions on what I might be doing incorrectly.

    I've been doing this for a few years now, and have come to some conclusions. Basically, the difference between still photography and video is like the difference between playing the trumpet and the sax. What you bring to the sax from playing trumpet is your ability to read music, what you know about composition, blending while playint with others, ect. But playing trumpet tells you nothing about how to physically play a sax. So it is with still photography and video.
    For starters, your carefully calibrated computer monitor is just that, a computer monitor. It doesn't display the correct working space for video. What you need for WYSIWYG in video is a monitor that can show you the Rec.709 working space. Rec.709 has a different gamut, a different gamma, probably a different white point (D65), different phosphor colors, etc., etc., etc. Enought differences that it's difficult to make a computer monitor that can successfully display Rec.709. Yet there are a couple of computer monitors that can do this (a few Eizos, one HP). The vast majority of people doing serious color correction work in video use a production monitor for just this reason.
    But a production monitor isn't enough. You also have to make sure that the signals you're sending the production monitor are correct. There's a sub-industry making signal converters for signals from NLE video cards (usually RGB based) -> signals for production monitors (usually YUV based).
    That said, it is certainly possible to get a very good match between your NLE suite and a DVD / BD as displayed on an HDTV. But it's not as simple or easy as a calibrtated computer monitor for still photography use.
    This is probably part of your problem. But Quicktime is probably the root of it. Quicktime is, well, I guess the polite way of saying it is that Quicktime is problematic. It gives all kinds of problems. Most people have abandoned it. You should too.

  • I have premiere pro CS6 and a blackmagic intensitiy pro HDMI capture card

    I have premiere pro CS6 and a blackmagic intensitiy pro HDMI capture card will I be able to capture HD TV progrsms if I have a HDCP compliant monitor?

    No.
    As soon as you connect the HDMI cable from your cable box to the BM card it will be seen as non-HDCP compliant.

    This shows you what's new in Premiere CC 2014, and you can use the links on the left side of that page to see earlier updates.
    (CS6 is an old version, which was followed by CC and CC 2014)
    And of course CC is subscription based and CS6 is a program you used to be able to purchase and own forever.

  • Change Sequence TC in Premiere Pro?

    How do I change the starting timecode of a sequence in Premiere Pro CS6? I've got a feature film in 5 reels and I'd like each reel to start at its corresponding hour, ie: hour 1 for reel 1, hour 2 for reel 2, etc.
    Thanks in advance.
    Chris Conlee

    Thanks, Ann. You rock...twice. LOL.
    Now a question about your handy-dandy circle vignette trick:  I'm trying to match a client's "raptor dinosaur" point of view effect. What they did was stack two layers of the same shot in an Avid timeline. Then they blurred and colored the bottom layer and then used a feathered matte to punch thru the top layer, effectively giving a blurred and colored vignette around a sharp and un-colored central area.
    Your great circle vignette trick works for the color, but is there a way to add blur to the transparent layer?

    Note that some less-than-stellar applications may barf at the change, even though EVERYONE knows the name of a computer is not an authentication mechanism.
    On the same vein, if you change the name of the startup volume (aka Macintosh HD) after having put stuff there, even more poorly designed apps may barf.
    Just so you know and aren't caught by surprise.
